1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo determine the capabilities of the "Kago-Eye2" software to semi-automatically segment the choroid in the optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images. STUDY

designA cross-sectional, prospective study of 44 healthy volunteers.

methodsThe Kago-eye2 software was developed to detect the border between Choriocapillaris and Sattler's layer (C-S) and between Sattler's layer and Haller's layer (S-H). The intra- and inter-grader agreements were determined for the segmentations made with semi-automated and manual analysis using the Kago-Eye2 software. The inter-method agreements were determined for two independent graders.

resultsForty-four right eyes of 44 heathy volunteers (22 men) with a mean age of 35.0 ± 8.8 years were studied. The intra-grader agreement of the C-S border was 0.97 for grader 1 and 0.892 for grader 2 for the manual segmentation, and 0.908 for grader 1 and 0.842 for grader 2 for the Kago-Eye2 segmentation. For the S-H border, the intra-grader agreement was 0.96 for grader 1 and 0.981 for grader 2 for manual segmentation and 0.855 for grader 1 and 0.839 for grader 2 with the Kago-Eye2. For the C-S and S-H border, the inter-grader agreement was 0.548 and 0.902 for manual segmentation and 0.947 and 0.833 for the Kago-Eye2. The inter-method agreement was 0.565 for the C-S border and 0.759 for the S-H border.

conclusionThe Kago-Eye2 software can segment the layers of the subfoveal choroid with good reproducibility and repeatability. We conclude that the Kago-Eye2 software can be used for semi-automatic segmentation of the choroidal layers.
